In what clear statement does
Peter show that the blood of Jesus
procured man's redemption? 1 Peter
1:18, 19. Compare Rev. 5:9.
NOTE.
-"All
men have been bought with
this infinite price. By pouring the whole
treasury of heaven into this world, by giv-
ing us in Christ all heaven, God has pur-
chased the will, the affections, the mind, the
soul, of every human being. Whether be-
lievers or unbelievers, all men are the Lord's
property."—Christ's
Object Lessons,
page
326.
The Levitical code was rich in symbolical
meaning to the people whose religious life
it sustained for long centuries. We, too,
can learn much from it.
4.
What essential spiritual experi-
ences come to the believer through the
blood of Christ? 1 John 1:7; Rom.
5:9; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:20; Heb. 13:12.
NoTE.—Here are some of the greatest
words in the Bible: cleansing, justification,
redemption, forgiveness, peace, sanctifica-
tion.
Justification
"is the work of God in lay-
ing the glory of man in the dust, and doing
for man that which it is not in his power
to do for
himself."—Testimonies to Min-
isters,
page 456.
Redemption
includes saving and keeping
from sin in this life, and entrance into the
immortal life. It is through redemption
"that every other [gift] is imparted to
men."—Christ's Object Lessons,
page 301.
"While we should realize our sinful con-
dition, we are to rely upon Christ as our
righteousness, our sanctification, and our
redemption."—Testimonies, vol. 5, p. 472.
Peace
is the result of grace "that recon-
ciles the soul to God, quiets the strife of
human passion, and in His love the heart
is at rest."—The
Desire of Ages,
page 336.
The Day of Atonement
5.
What special service was held in
the autumn of each year? Mention
some of the unusual incidents in the
observance of this day. Lev. 16:29-34;
Ex. 30:10.
NOTE.—This was a day of judgment, and
only the truly consecrated could be cleansed
from sin. Priests, people, sanctuary, all re-
quired cleansing before a holy God. Sym-
bols, types, shadows, are poor representa-
tions of the work of Christ, for they could
not "make the corners thereunto perfect."
Heb. 10:1. Thus many types and ceremo-
nies were used to teach the sinner's need of
Christ.
6.
In what way was the first goat a
type of the Lord Jesus Christ? What
was the role of the scapegoat? Lev.
16:9, 10, 15, 30; Heb. 9:6-12.
NOTE.—The blood of the goat slain as a
sin offering must be taken "within the veil"
and sprinkled "upon the mercy seat, and
before the mercy seat," a procedure for-
bidden at all other times. Lev. 16:15; see
also verse 2. "Thus the claims of the law,
which demanded the life of the sinner, were
satisfied."—Patriarchs and Prophets,
page
356.
"Since Satan is the originator of sin, the
direct instigator of all the sins that caused
the death of the Son of God, justice de-
mands that Satan shall suffer the final
punishment. Christ's work for the redemp-
tion of men and the purification of the uni-
verse from sin will be closed by the re-
moval of sin from the heavenly sanctuary
and the placing of these sins upon Satan,
who will bear the final penalty. So in
the typical service, the yearly round of
ministration closed with the purification of
the sanctuary, and the confessing of the sins
on the head of the scapegoat."—/bid., p.
358.
"As in the final atonement the sins of the
truly penitent are to be blotted from the
records of heaven, no more to be remem-
bered or come into mind, so in the type
they were borne away into the wilderness,
forever separated from the congregation."—
Ibid.,
p. 358.
7.
In what words do the Old and
New Testaments show the need for
cleansing in both the typical and anti-
typical sanctuaries? Lev. 16:16; Heb.
9:22, 23.
